In a 100 m race between A and B, A wins by 10 m. In a 100 m race between B and C, B wins by 10 m. In a 100 m race between A and C, who will win and by how much?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
In a 100 m race between A and B, A wins by 10 m. This means that when A runs 100 m, B runs 90 m.
Similarly, when B runs 100 m, C runs 90 m.
lf we find out the distance that C will run when B runs 90 m, we will have the answer for the distance that C will run when A runs 100m.
when B runs 100m, C runs 90m. Therefore, when B runs 90m, C runs \( \Large \frac{90}{100} \times 90 \) = 81 m.
Hence in a 100 m race between A and C, A wins the race and wins by 100 - 81 = 19 m.
